What a great way to start off my week and my morning. I spent time with the students of Reynolds School in Prawda, Manitoba. The students ranged from grades k -6, and it was a blast. After I did my presentation the students asked me a lot of questions, and some very good questions. After they came back in from there recess, one of the teachers Heidi Schubert, set up some hands-on activities in there gym, so they can get a better understanding of what it’s like to have a disability. There were stations set up to demonstrate what it is like to be visually impaired, hard of hearing, not able to communicate verbally. ASL, and my favorite station of them all. How to be able to put your socks on with out using your hands, As I stood at that station I watched them try so very hard to put there socks on and they gave it there best effort. Way to go students. Thanks again to everyone for having me there and making me feel so welcome, and to Heidi for taking care of transportation.
Reynolds School ROCKS!

Today I was at the Winnipeg Health Science Centre, and I did a talk to the Rehabilitation Hospital patients . I shared with them what it is like for me living with a disability. I had an understanding of the kind of information that they would be looking for. So I talked about how I had to learn how to do things for myself as a young child and as well as a an adult. Everything from dressing, feeding, and daily tasks that a lot of people take for granted. Thanks again Clayton for inviting me, and I enjoyed meeting everyone.

It’s a new year, and I did my first presentation for 2009 today. I did it for the staff of Reaching E-Quality Employment Services (REES) during there monthly staff meeting. (REES) is community-based employment service agency that assists people with physical disabilities or health conditions to gain employment. Also present were the students of the Youth Employment Project (YEP), one of the programs that REES provide. During my demonstrations, I noticed people stretching there necks to get a good view of me doing my card trick and other things with my feet. After my talk and demonstration I took questions and realized that adults ask a lot of the same questions that students would ask. It looks like a good time was had by all. Thank you very much Connie Stairs, Coordinator of the Youth Employment Project and the rest of the staff for having me come in.
